Fedora 37: Add kernel parameters that help prevent local exploits

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add `slab_nomerge init_on_alloc=1 init_on_free=1 page_alloc.shuffle=1 pti=on randomize_kstack_offset=on vsyscall=none ` as default kernel command line arguments. This can help prevent local exploits by making it harder to exploit the kernel. I do not think there will be any breakage, I have been using these for a long time. The performance impact is minimal, a few of these can improve performance. 

This can help increase the security of Fedora, while also not causing any other problems. Many users do not know what kernel command line arguments are, so doing this will help them with the security of their system. This does not address every problem, or even most of them, but every little bit matters.
